Six Years Old!

Addie turned SIX years old this month! It's hard to believe it's been that long since she was born!! It feels like just yesterday sometimes! I wish they wouldn't grow up so quickly! She was so excited to finally be 6!!

 

We started the birthday celebrations the night before her actual birthday because Clay had a work event and was not going to be able to be home on her actual birthday.  So, we went out to dinner at McD's and then headed over to Boondocks for some fun! Our kids love that place. 

After Boondocks, we came home and she opened a present (the Wizard of Oz on DVD). 

The morning of her birthday, she woke up bright and early! It was a school day so we got her ready and headed out the door to school.  

Since the beginning of the year, she has needed me to walk her in to the school to her classroom.  We'd mentioned that when winter came, we wouldn't be doing it anymore and she told us when she was six, we could do the drop off lane.  So, on her birthday, I asked her if she was ready and she was! She hopped out of the car, found a few friends and off to school she went!!!  SO PROUD!!!!

I decided to go help at school since it was her birthday.  She got a birthday crown, they sang to her and made a birthday tunnel for her to run through! Here is a picture of her with her friend, Natalie, on the playground at recess. 

After school, she was so excited because I had picked up some butterfly duct tape at the store that day.  She spent some time making some duct tape bracelets for her and her friends. 

She got to open Will's present after school as well.  Unfortunately, Will was so sad that he didn't get to open it for her so we had some tears for that- but she was excited to get another barbie and some accessories to go with it. 

While Will was napping, she had a couple friends over to play.  They were making stuff with the duct tape and then they all sat down to watch the latest Barbie movie we checked out at Redbox.

That night, Grandma came over and we went out to dinner at Red Robin! 

When we got home, Grandma gave her a very special birthday present! She had made a quilt for her! It's a beautiful quilt with a beautiful story and Addie is such a lucky girl to have such a wonderful and loving Grandma!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful six year old!!! We love you and are so proud of you!
